Trial of Aquilegia 2003-2003 Trial of Aquilegia 2003-2003 Objective: To demonstrate and assess the habit and flowering performance of a range of Aquilegia grown from seed for garden decoration. Entries: 96 entries were submitted in the trial including 16 mixtures submitted by various seed companies in the UK and worldwide. Cultivation: Seed was sown in early June 2002 under glass into pans using modular compost (suitable for seed sowing and young plants). (The A. vulgaris types were sown in the 3rd week April and then resown in mid May due to poor germination). The pans were covered with 2mm fine vermiculite, drenched with Revive at a concentration of 1ml/l [a soil treatment of natural micro organisms which suppresses soil borne plant diseases] and germinated at 20°C under mist. The seedlings were pricked out into modules, using modular compost, drenched with Revive and liquid fed at each watering with a 3:1:3 fertiliser at a concentration of 1:200. The plants were potted on into 1L pots (the Cameo Series into smaller 9cm pots) using a growing-on compost (similar to a multipurpose compost) and were placed outside for the summer. Whilst in trays/ pots the plants were drenched with an insecticide and regularly sprayed to control powdery mildew, initially using fungicidal protectants and then fungicidal eradicants as required. 20 plants of each single colour entry and 40 plants of each mixed colour entry were planted out on 08 October 2002 with 45 cm between plants and 45 cm between entries. The smaller entries such as Cameo Series and Fantasy Series were planted with 30 cm between plants and 30 cm between entries. Records: A record was made of the date when 50% of an entry was flowering. Judging: Members of the Floral Trials Sub-committee inspected the trial on 14 April, 14 May, 28 May, 05 June, and 17 June 2003 and recommended the Award of Garden Merit to 8 cultivars based on the following criteria: habit : health : floriferousness : colour Findings: The Floral Trials Subcommittee was delighted at the success of this trial and agreed it was the finest trial of its sort. The subject lent itself well to such a demonstration, being an early flowering herbaceous plant, with good height and colour range. It was recommended that the next Aquilegia trial should be held over three years so that it could be judged over two flowering seasons and perenniality could be established. It should also include more species. Nomenclature: Establishing the correct names of the entries proved to be very difficult. Many of the cultivars and series are raised by one company and then introduced, often under different names, by one or several other companies over a short period. By establishing which names were published first, and considering the originator's intended names, we have resolved them as far as possible. The Subcommittee were of the opinion that the low-growing Cameo Series and Fantasy Series (Aquilegia flabellata) did not perform at all well in the open ground on the trials field and probably were better suited for pot cultivation.

To the best of my knowledge and belief, this thesis represents my original research except where otherwise acknowledged in the text. Frances Johnston August 2005 FORWARD “In a small section of the garden a tiny weed spoke to the blooms that grew there. ‘Why,’ he asked, ‘does the gardener seek to kill me? Do I not have a right to life? Are my leaves not green, as yours are? Is it too much to ask that I be allowed to grow and see the sun?’ The blooms pondered on this, and decided to ask the gardener to spare the weed. He did so. Day by day the weed grew, stronger and stronger, taller and taller, its leaves covering the other plants, its roots spreading.

  • Response of Some Ornamental Flowers of Family Ranunculaceae to Sucrose Feeding
    African Journal of Plant Science Vol. 4(9), pp. 346-352, September 2010 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/ajps ISSN 1996-0824 ©2010 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Response of some ornamental flowers of family Ranunculaceae to sucrose feeding Waseem Shahri*, Inayatullah Tahir, Sheikh Tajamul Islam and Mushtaq Ahmad Department of Botany, Plant Physiology and Biochemistry Research Laboratory, University of Kashmir, Srinagar- 190006, India. Accepted 30 July, 2010 The effect of different concentrations of sucrose on some ornamental flowers of family Ranunculaceae was examined. Sucrose was found to enhance vase life in cut spikes of Aquilegia vulgaris and Consolida ajacis cv. Violet blue; besides it improves blooming, fresh and dry mass of flowers. A. vulgaris and C. ajacis exhibits abscission type of flower senescence, while senescence in Ranunculus asiaticus cultivars is characterized by initial wilting followed by abscission at later stage. In isolated flowers of R. asiaticus cultivars, sucrose was found to be ineffective in delaying senescence and improving post-harvest performance. The study reveals that sucrose treatment shows varied response in different flowers of the same family and its effect appears to be related to ethylene-sensitivity of these flower systems. The paper recommends that more elaborate studies need to be conducted on other ethylene-sensitive flowers to make a generalized argument on relationship between sucrose and ethylene sensitivity. Key words: Aquilegia vulgaris, Consolida ajacis, Ranunculus asiaticus, abscission, wilting, sucrose, vase life, fresh mass, dry mass, senescence, Ranunculaceae. INTRODUCTION As long as a flowering shoot or an inflorescence is at the bud stage to open, which otherwise could not occur attached to a mother plant, nutrients are continuously naturally (Pun and Ichimura, 2003).
